kqueue was if not the, then one of the first attempts to solve the issue of being more performant than select(). So this whole post boils down to "they didn't get it right the first time" to which I say, okay sure, but we only know that now after kqueue proved that event based queues were better than select.

This post is ahistorical and anti-social.
Again, may need to. It’s not a guaranteed, perhaps your situation doesn’t require this. That’s cool, but not everyone’s is yours and yours not everyone’s.

When it comes to paid subscriptions I have no issue paying for something I get a lot of value out of, but there are free alternatives that are good today as well, like Bitwarden and I know others have mentioned 100% local installations that work too. Not to mention, if you are in the Apple ecosystem, Passwords is free, it doesn’t cost anything and can take advantage of all this.

As a matter of practicality for me though I find it overall easier to use 1Password for example, but that’s just me and if someone asked I’d recommend Passwords by Apple or 1Password but again, doesn’t need to be those things
One side objectively lies more though.
People with other options don’t take the train in (most of) the USA because the trains in (most of) the USA are bad.

Of course the US is far larger than any single EU country, but the cities aren’t evenly distributed. There are many clusters of decently-close cities, and vast areas with very few large cities at all. Salt Lake or Denver may never have much useful intercity rail, but lots of regions could have it if we chose to build it (and learn from those who build it well, unlike California HSR).
Editor theme developer changes license and threatens editors
Tldw: The developer of the material theme for VS Code (3.7M installs) is alleging that others (like the variant for the Zed editor) are violating the theme’s software license. (Going as far as to write an article saying to avoid Zed because they violate OSS licenses.)

Turns out that the theme developer actually wiped the entire git history of the theme’s repo and recently changed the license to a self-written one, and intends to monetize the theme now. As of a few months ago, the repo was under the Apache license (as it was for nearly a decade).

While his work is inspirational it is really not moving the needle on solving this problem. He is a tinkerer, wish he would put his idea's into motion to produce his designs like the dude making the wheelchairs in Utah.
Huh?

There is still censorship by surrogacy. It’s just that now they censor things you don’t like being said, so you don’t mind as much. For you it’s not a problem as long as the people being censored have a world view or narrative contrary to your own. But that’s not the same as being a free speech supporter.

That’s being a supporter of free speech for you. Not for anyone else.
> Infrastructure costs are unsustainably high without density and plenty of cities are going bankrupt when it comes time to replace sewers etc.

It's funny that you mention infrastructure. Do you know that one mile of Manhattan subway now costs more than 1000 miles of modern 6-lane freeway?

Suburban infrastructure costs are in line with the _average_ urban costs (some cities like NYC or Seattle have _wildly_ inflated costs). Some costs are slightly more, some are less.
Re: your experiences — racists (and bigots in general) are a lot more likely to voice the bigoted things they're thinking, when the target of their vitriol looks like someone who wouldn't fight back against what they're saying. So: women (when the speaker is male and physically larger); old people; people with disabilities; etc. It's the same victim-selection logic that criminals use.

If you're the sort of person who would never expect to get randomly fucked with on the street, then you shouldn't expect to be the target of voiced bigotry, either.

> Did that guy yell at you because you were Asian

Yes, 100% it was because she was Asian.

The small town I grew up in is effectively 100% white (just by coincidence of history); but exists near some major global cities (like the one I live in now) that have a good mix of ethnicities, and especially an increasingly-large percentage of Asian people.

Due to various economic factors, many otherwise-well-to-do people can no longer afford to live in the big cities. This includes many immigrants of other races who originally moved to this country to live in these big cities, and have never visited the rest of the country. These people (including the immigrants) started off just moving to commuter suburbs — but as those shot up in land value as well, people are now increasingly moving to outlying non-cosmopolitan small towns, which do still have lower land values.

And that's shifting the demographics of these small towns.

This wave of demographic shift has not yet reached the town I grew up in.

AFAICT there is a sentiment among people who live there that they don't want "outsiders" — i.e. immigrants / anyone who's not a tenth-generation resident of the country — to move into the town. The sight of such people — especially when those people are "city slickers" doing "tourist" things in the town — enrages them.

So, it's not a prejudice these people have that's specific to any one race of people — but it is a racially-motivated prejudice. It is, essentially, a racial purity mindset — whether the people living there would call it that or not. (I say "racial purity" generally rather than "white supremacist" specifically, because this dynamic exists in provincial small towns in every country that's currently experiencing demographic shift — with the people in those small towns being bigots against any ethnicity other than their own, but especially against whichever ethnicities are increasing in prevalence in the countrie's large cities and beginning to "spill over" into small towns.)

It’s not true thar people agree on it though. Housing is expensive, we could bring it down, but bringing it down would crush our economy, so we don’t do it. Supermajority of people also own their homes, and if you bought in the last 10 years for some incredibly high price, you wouldn't want your investment to go down.

For homeless people it’s tough, and a good chunk of people got severely desensitized in the last 20 years. So they’ve become an after thought, and people are pushing for “out of sight out of mind” policies. Can’t really blame them either.
> So my answer is, if it feels like a privacy violation, it is. Your technical comparison will be more persuasive if you presented it in Computer Modern in a white paper, or if you are an important Substack author or reply guy, or maybe take a cue from the shawarma guy on Valencia Street and do a hunger strike while comparing two ways to get location info.

They’re broadly similar services, both provided by the same entity. Either you trust that entity or you don’t. You can’t simultaneously be happy with an older, less private feature, that can’t be disabled. While simultaneously criticising the same entity for creating a new feature (that carries all the same privacy risks) that’s technically more private, and can be completely disabled.

> The interesting thing is that Apple has created a cathedral of seemingly objective sexy technical details that feel like security. But since it’s all trust, feelings matter!

This is utterly irrelevant, you’re basically making my point for me. As above, either you do or do not trust Apple to provide these services. The implementation is kinda irrelevant. I’m simply asking people to be a little more introspective, and take a little more time to consider their position, before they start yelling from the rooftops that this new feature represents some great privacy deception.
80% of Toronto's shelter space is taken up by refugees and new immigrants to Canada. Canada has a problem with letting way more people in than it can take care of.

In 2023 it was 44%.
The article has been updated with several edits. It no longer claims that CA fast food employment rose at a faster rate than the nationwide average. This drastically undercuts the claim that the new law didn't hurt employment. All it shows is that employment continued to go up at a time when it was going up faster in other states.

I wonder if they would have run the article had they known these facts all along. It seemed like interesting new perspectives when I first read it. But now it seems very weak compared to the opposing perspectives.

When someone share it's choice, listeners naturally relate and compare to their own choices. If someone is putting moral or ethic before money (a very common first criterion), the listeners that didn't will feel judged even if the orator didn't say anything about them. It's a natural but uncomfortable behavior triggering defensive mode, that can translate in judging back the one that try to do a good think.

Vegans experience this often.

Edit: the "ethical choicers" can reduce such behavior with a carefully controlled communication (if someone has more tips please share!):

- Don't say "ethic" but "my ethics"

- Keep concise, don't give details if not ask

- Change subject as soon as you feel the listener is uncomfortable

- Say ASAP that you're not trying to convince or change anyone
That's not what happened nor is it how he accomplished the "trick". There's no slight of hand or trickery. Everything is fully revealed near the end of the special on YouTube (which I linked). She won every bet, including the last. He never had any of her tickets nor did he even see her place her bets.

It's much simpler than that. Although the show appears in the beginning like it's a "magic trick" (though that is never actually claimed), in the end the audience is clearly shown how there's no trick at all. It's all simple probability and there really is no way to "beat the odds". Which IMHO is ultimately more entertaining and valuable than just some slight of hand or magic trickery.

Being able to avoid OMZ and entire cargo cult of zsh configuration performance “hacks” that litter the internet.

Really, not needing to pull in other people’s janky scripts because the built-in features work well is huge. I still configure fish and use a few scripts, but it’s the lack of the massive cottage industry that is the primary draw for me.

Of course, many devs see that as a failing: “how could a shell do its job well without a thousand knobs to tweak?”

Ask a podcaster to name intellectuals, and they just name other podcasters.
As an Chinese expat, I have indeed heard rumors about undercovers from Chinese three letters agencies in events organized by dissentients (like falungong) and I would try my best to avoid being involved.

However I hope the collateral damage to the innocent Chinese expats can be minimized. The reason of many of those to stay outside of China are concerns about the the ruling party and the desire to keep a distance from it. (Admittly also a higher quality of life, but no longer true in many cases.)
This answer should be much higher. Thank you
“Intellectual landscape” is way over selling it. Joe Rogan used to host a reality tv show where people ate cockroaches for money. They’re little more than glorified influencers.
> There are really two distinct homelessness problems:

> 1. The “temporarily unhoused”. These are people who have fallen on hard times and need temporary assistance to get back on their feet. These people live out of their cars and are largely invisible.

> 2. The chronically homeless. These are drug users who infest public spaces and are highly visible and disruptive.

What is that based on? Do you have any data to support these categories as something real? It sounds a lot like, '1) people I like; and 2) people I hate.'

It's wrong to discuss human beings like animals, and as if they exist to please or displease you, and as if they can be treated like animals.

They are people with their own experiences, like you, sensations and emotions and lives, who matter just as much as you do and belong in public spaces just as much. I've spent lots of time in major cities; chronically homeless people are among the least disruptive, and I've talked to many and know a few people in that situation; people on opioids are in their own worlds, often in a dream.
Pumpkin got Minecraft Terrain generation
Hello everyone!. Some of you may remember my Project Pumpkin. I have to say it was already a long time since the last Update, but there has been huge progress made.

For everyone who has forgotten about the Project or never heard about Pumpkin, Its a Minecraft server Software entirely written in the programming language rust, It is crazy fast and efficient and you can easily tried it out yourself, See https://pumpkinmc.org/about/quick-start.html :D

So the "biggest" and also coolest addition is the Terrain generation which got added. It matches the vanilla one, So basically. Same Seed = Same Result.

On the last picture you can see some Vanilla generated Chunks imported into Pumpkin, And our own Generation. You can clearly see how well it matches

OK but $10/TB has gotta be like >99% profit margin for AWS. After massively jacking up their prices, Hetzner internet egress is only €1/TB. Also AWS encourages / in some cases practically forces you to do multi-AZ.

I remember switching to autoscaling spot instances to save a few bucks, then occasionally spot spinup would fail due to lack of availability within an AZ so I enabled multi-AZ spot. Then got hit with the inter-AZ bandwidth charges and wasn't actually saving any money vs single-AZ reserved. This was about the point I decided DIY Kubernetes was simpler to reason about.

What is that based on? Also, why are people with a drug problem less deserving than people with housing problems.

Finally, what I understand from experts is that the first step to helping people with drug problems is to get them stable housing.

Or, as with Thalidomide, the formulation pathway also happens to make a 'left-handed' version of a drug which turns works great, but the opposite chirality causes horrible birth defects (as in kids with brain damage or deformed hands & feet basically attached to shoulders and hips, and more).

I'd be all over home production or brew-kits for users or compounding pharmacists to save lives or quality of life. But damn, the more complex synthesis pathways have potential for insanely serious 'bugs', and the consequences aren't just a software crash, they can be life-altering or life-ending. With fully informed consent, still works for me.

No, legislation (the GDPR) doesn’t say anything about cookie pop ups. It says that private data (or any kind) can only be used with opt in consent, given freely, with no strings attached, with the ability to be withdrawn, that it will be kept secure, deleted when not needed for the original purpose, etc. All very reasonable stuff. Tracking cookies are affected, but the legislation covers all private data (IP, email address, your location, etc)
… And if Browsers agreed on a standard to get and withdraw opt-in consent, it would be compatible with what the legislation requires.
> This is not a "you must use usb-c" law, but rather "you must figure out how to get along" law.

Correct, thanks for reading the actual regulation

It does specify USB-C as the common charger port for now, of course (with support for future charging protocols over USB-C). And it does allow for technological evolution

(And of course the margin of improvements in wired charging diminishes over time - I think such regulation would have been more problematic before USB-C came along)

Man that is really selling it. I lived in a car and it was my house. I will meet you in the middle there. But a tent is not a home. Even by my liberal standards of calling a vehicle a home.

I think the best term that has the most impact is Sleeping Rough Outdoors. You read that and it does not matter what side you are one, you now how the person is living and it describes the plight that many homeless face when just needing to get some rest.

The concept you are describing is a "homebum" which describes a person who sticks to one area. This is different than a "hobo" who keeps moving and is not as much a nuisance of homeless. A "rubber tramp" is a homeless person who lives in a vehicle.
